Congratulations Buckmagnet,
That' s two does for the mightmite brigade this year. Something must be up because my MM killed doe was also a bit smaller than I thought also. She looked big enough until I went to HEAVE her onto the fourwheeler and I thought " that was a little too easy" . Oh well I was happy also as she was the first animal I had connected with my MM. Complete pass through both rib cages at 33 yards (further than I thought, size musta tricked me) with a rocket sidewinder.

Let' s try to make up for it with BIG BUCKS!!

60#? huh, was that a misprint? or did you inch it to a more comfortable draw weight. I eased down to 65# and that' s where it' s staying for now. But if I had winters like you could be hunting in I' d go down to 60 myself.
When the doe was in front of my the 65# didn' t even faze me and I was able to hold steady w/out even thinking about it. Yes sir, if that hunt was any indication- me and this bow are gonna get along just fine.

I did miss a coyote on opening week due to the bottom limb/cam hitting my climbers arm rest. I guess the short ATA was not a cure all to paying attention to detail.

Hey Dave

The MM was great! First blood for it, but, don' t worry we will definetly make up for it with big bucks

That wasn' t a mis-print. I took the bow down to 60# draw weight! It is plenty and it is just so incredibly easy and smooth to pull! The winters were a factor! Heck, I have already hunted in 28 degree weather this archery season, I don' t even want to know what late season archery will be like if I don' t take a buck before that

I bought a stalker off the net for cheap and it' s a 60#er, it is much nicer to pull back than the MM and feels like a full 80% letoff, it' s just a bow to fool with after this season.
The MM is my #1 bow for hunting. I' m overjoyed to have a bow that can shoot fixed blades (muzzy phantoms, muzzy 100 3 blades, titan 100' s) as well as it does (sub 2" at 30 yards)and still allow me to shoot big mechanicals if I feel like it. I carry both in my quiver.
65# pull, 29.5" draw, 426 grain beman ics going 272 for 70 ft/lbs ke (and some sort of momentum #). I know it' s repetition, but I just love those #' s.

Good luck to ya!!
